Did you know your brain doesn’t actually feel pain? Headaches come from nerves and muscles around the brain, not inside it. Here’s a breakdown of common types—and what you can do naturally to find relief.
Common Headache Triggers
Caffeine Withdrawal: Going cold turkey from coffee can change blood flow and cause pain.
Migraines: Often triggered by blood flow or serotonin changes.
Dehydration: Causes blood vessels to constrict, leading to pain.
Tension: Stress and tight muscles in the neck or head are common causes.
Sleep Loss: Even missing a few hours for just a few nights can trigger headaches.
Migraines
Over 12% of people suffer from migraines—throbbing, one-sided headaches often with nausea or vomiting. According to the Migraine Research Foundation, migraines are the 8th most disabling illness in the world. Auras and smoking may increase stroke risk in migraine sufferers.
Prevention Tips
Travel and irregular routines can trigger migraines, often due to diet, stress, and irregular elimination. A study found that healthy digestion helps reduce migraines. FiberWise Bars and Drink Packets are great travel companions.
Supplements for Relief
Deficiencies in magnesium and omega-3s are linked to migraines.
Vitality Coldwater Omega-3 and Omega-3 Creme Delight provide DHA and EPA.
Peak Performance Nutrition Pack gives you full support—multivitamins, ProvexCV, and Florify probiotics for gut health and vascular support.
Provex-Plus and ProvexCV may also help maintain healthy blood vessels.
Natural Remedies
Peppermint Oil: (10% diluted): Applying to temples and forehead can be as effective as 1000mg acetaminophen.
Pain-A-Trate: Massage into neck, temples, and sinus area (avoid eyes) to relax muscles and boost circulation.
RestEZ: If sleep is the issue, this gentle supplement supports restful sleep without forming a habit.
Final Tip: Stay hydrated and support your body daily with good nutrition, gentle remedies, and immune-supporting supplements.
